I am so excited!! I am Guest designer for Scribble Scrabble for the month of September! Cynthia was SO generous in what she sent me!! She sent me 5 lines to work with!!!! And WOW!! Every one of them have my name ALL OVER THEM! Well, not literally... LOL! But I fell in LOVE with these papers! I have never had the opportunity to work with Scribble Scrabble papers, as they have never been sold in my area. Boy was I missing out! They are FANTASTIC! Great quality, double sided and gorgeous colors! I'm in patterned paper heaven!! Here is the first layout I did using the Haley's Collection.

I Adore Your Curls

I LOVE the texture of this page!! Helmar Adhesives made this page SO full of depth! The Helmar liquid Scrap Dots were used on the photo, chipboard and my pleated paper! LOVE this stuff!!I used a nesting chipboard heart from Magistical Memories on this page as well. No page is complete without some chipboard! I covered it with the patterned paper and sanded and inked the edges for the perfect mat for my photo's!I had so much fun embellishing this page.. simple but so effective!I loved this page so much, I created a sketch based on it for the September Sketch for Magistical Memories! Check out the details here...Thanks so much for stopping by! I so appreciate your love... :) Tune again soon, as I have more stuff in the works! :)Until then...Happy Scrapping!~Tina~
